A memoir, starting in post war Brighton, England, this book takes you on a journey from Brighton to Bangkok, from Singapore to Saudi Arabia, and is only half the story of a consummate wanderer. Returning to an England he despised, after his youth spent as an 'assisted immigrant' in New Zealand, the author joins, then leaves the Royal Navy, becomes a truck driver employed on Middle East trucking routes, and eventually an engineer. His journeys take him through the Iron curtain, using forged documentation in order to transit International borders, to being robbed at gun-point in Turkey, and dealing with London gangsters. Jouneys through the Sahara, hauling cement and hydrochloric acid to the remotest oil rigs eventually give way to studies as an engineer - the wild parties, the drugs and booze, and of course the women.
